Havana’s Annual Holiday Parade & Lawn Mower Contest December 11, 2010

Getting into the holiday spirit has never been more fun! How creative can you be in decorating your riding lawn mower like a parade float? Or, if you have a golf cart that you wish to decorate, those are also welcomed. Let your imagination run wild! You may choose a holiday theme or any crazy, zany, fun idea that is creative and original enough to win one of 4 cash/gift certificate prizes. Lawn mowers & golf carts are judged separately. First & second place winners in both categories are eligible to win one of 2 cash/gift certificate prizes totaling $300! Putting together your “float” is a fun family project that stimulates everyone’s imagination. Watching the parade is a real treat, so bring your camera!

Prior years’ contests have seen floats decorated like: the Red Baron airplane, a pirate ship, Noah’s Ark, Santa’s sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer, a choo-choo train, fishing boat, an outhouse, and more. And as an added feature to the parade, antique cars and other “fun” vehicles are featured. Santa & Mrs. Clause can also be spotted on their special float. Food & craft vendors line the streets, and there are games & activities for all ages.
